Dallas police are suspending their investigation into an altercation involving Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott after less than 72 hours.

The alleged victim has not responded to multiple attempts to contact him, and no witnesses have come forward, DPD announced in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

At this point, it'd be difficult to argue why Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott shouldn't be suspended

Elliott will have one less concern when he heads to training camp Saturday in Southern California with the rest of the team, and he has the support of the Cowboys, voiced by coach Jason Garrett earlier Wednesday. But he could still face discipline from the NFL.

TMZ quickly obtained video of what was purported to be Ibeneme suffering from the blow on the Clutch floor and being transported into an ambulance, but footage hasn't surfaced of him being struck. Police on Tuesday reached out to Ibeneme using the DPD's official Twitter account, asking that he call a detective.

The Cowboys and the NFL are also looking into the incident. Elliott doesn't have to be criminally charged to be penalized. Before Sunday's events, he was already the subject of a year-long NFL investigation into whether he violated the league's personal conduct policy. ESPN reported last week that he was facing a one- or two-game suspension. The investigation was spurred by allegations of abuse by a female acquaintance, for which Elliott is not facing legal charges.

Elliott has also landed in the headlines for questionable behavior that included visiting a legal marijuana dispensary before a preseason game in Seattle -- pot is banned by the NFL -- and pulling down a woman's top during Dallas' St. Patrick's Day festivities on Lower Greenville.

Garrett on Wednesday said he has not yet spoken with Elliott, but that he plans to when the team reconvenes Friday for physicals before departing for Oxnard, Calif. the next day.

Garrett spoke during a coaching clinic at Ford Center at The Star and before the police announced the suspended investigation.

Garrett didn't provide an explanation as to why he hasn't conversed with Elliott.

"We've had different people visit with Zeke," Garrett said.

Owner Jerry Jones on Tuesday said he had spoken with Elliott, but did not divulge details of the conversation.

Is Garrett concerned about the decisions Elliott is making off the field?

"I don't want to make any comment on the situation," Garrett said. "We're still gathering information on what that whole situation was. Zeke's someone we believe very strongly in as a person and as a football player. We're going to continue to believe in him and try to put a structure around him -- and all of our players -- to help them make great decisions and grow, grow both on and off the field."

Garrett wouldn't comment on if the Cowboys will prepare to open the season in September without Elliott because of suspension.

Dallas is also dealing with the recent arrests of linebacker Damien Wilson, on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and cornerback Nolan Carroll, on suspicion of DWI. Garrett continued to defend the character of the team, but said the Cowboys also need to be held accountable and address off-field incidents.

"I have a little bit of a different perspective than most people about the character of our football team," Garrett said. "There's so many guys that I get to be around that are so inspirational to me and to so many other people every day. I think we've built our football team the right way and with the right kind of guys.

"That doesn't mean that guys aren't going to make mistakes, whatever they are, in our building, outside of our building. And I think the most important thing for us to try to do is try to help everybody grow, and we all take responsibilities for everybody."

Garrett said that if the Cowboys didn't believe in the players who were involved with recent incidents they "wouldn't be on the team." He said players have previously overcome off-field missteps and matured.

Elliott, who the Cowboys drafted with the No. 4 overall pick in 2016, led the NFL in rushing last season as a rookie. His status will play a key role in if Dallas is able to win a second straight NFC East title.
